Do a search on MP1E! This is a little app that works with both V4L and V4L2. It will do realtime encoding to an mpeg movie or to standard out (Default). If you are recording a movie, you'll want to re-encode it since the compression is only so-so. This is an excellent application!!!! There are remuxers out there that you can use. When you use it, just kick it out to a file. mp1e < my_movie_file.mpg or if you would like to stream it, mp1e | mtv - Thanks, Steve PS Have fun!
